Tangalooma Adventure Day

Yesterday, our Ambassadors set sail for Tangalooma at Moreton Island with around 20 other schools, enjoying what can only be described as an almost perfect-weather kind of day — just enough breeze to keep things interesting…especially on the boat! Once on the island, it was full steam ahead into learning and discovery.

We explored all kinds of fascinating environmental topics: coral bleaching (not as pretty as it sounds), how our water is cleaned so it's safe to drink (spoiler: it's not magic), and the incredible marine life of Moreton Bay. There were experiments, hands-on activities, and the unforgettable moment of meeting the majestic bottlenose dolphins up close — they definitely stole the show. We also can’t forget to mention, the wonderful and original EcoWarrior, Ranger Stacey, was also there in support of the EcoMarines!

Our students returned bursting with ideas and enthusiasm, ready to dive into our EcoMarine program and make some waves of change back at school!

EcoMarine Warrior Meetings

Starting in Week 4, our EcoMarine Warrior meetings will kick off for keen students in Years 3–6. These meetings will happen during big lunch every second (even) week.

The goal? To share the message about protecting our environment and brainstorm ways to be more eco-friendly and sustainable. Our young warriors will take the lead in creating fun, meaningful missions to help our school and community think green, act green, and live green.

We can’t wait to see what our passionate young environmental leaders come up with. Watch this space for our first exciting competition of the year — it’s going to be rubbish (in a good, recycling kind of way)!
